It`s a terrible crime however the Police arrested 2 INNOCENT men , their only `crime` that they were in the same area the `offence` took place. There is NO EVIDENCE to link these men to the 83 year old lady. These men are genuine trades-men NOT conning scumbags. While the men in question spent hours in police custody the real culprit/s are getting away with it. I hope the real villian/s will be caught asap

Hmm.....you seem to know a lot about this.

First off, where did the offence take place? It certainly didn't happen in the bank, because that's where many people withdraw cash.

No, the offence occurred when the lady was falsely told that repairs were needed. That was probably at her house.

If the arrested men were innocent, then why were they identified, and why were they arrested and bailed? If they had nothing to do with the offence, they would have been able to explain their presence at the scene and allowed to continue with their day.

The men in question haven`t been charged with this terrible crime - so cannot be named. The men were arrested because they were in the area near where the 83 year old lady lives on their way to a geniune job. The police have to be seen to be doing something but i can assure you they have the `wrong men`

You don't get arrested for just being in the area . If I was driving my white van in the area and was stopped all you have to do is tell the police where your going and if it checks out you are free to go on your way . Name and shame these two pond sucking scum life

Very naive.
Many innocent people are arrested.

The guy that rang the old lady to get her to part with her cash must be laughing even though he didn`t get the money, knowing 2 random men have been arrested for a crime he committed.. Their only crime driving a white van near to where the old lady lives and as there were tv camera`s there , the police wanted to look good that they had arrested somebody for the crime. The men in the van thought `it was some kind of joke` and that Jeremy Beadle was going to suddenly appear... .They have been told they can claim for `wrongful arrest`

the lady was contacted by telephone, numbers can be witheld from displaying but not from the system, simple detective work will work out where the call was made from & exactly when, if a mobile it can be trangulated as to its location at the time of the call, if these guys are innocent they will be quickly cleared. If you have ever wondered how to afford new vans and new expensive caravans whith which to travel round the south parking on any convinient bit of public space, this sort of scam sounds a variation of a familiar modus operandi
